Thread Name: Jingles you remember.
Subject: RE: Jingles you remember.
Yes, yes, I remember the Chesterfiled jingle, but have forgotten nearly all the words. What I remember better is the parody of the Chesterfield jingle in Mad or Humbug or one of the other circa 1960 humor magazines.
The Chesterfield jingle ran on TV and it showed some rugged individualist-type guy taking a cigarette break from his important macho work. So the magazine parody showed what we today would call a homeless person finding a cigarette butt in the street, and it went...

Hustling handouts, guzzling cheap wine,
Stopping people, asking for a dime,
Staggering and reeling you will find a man
Stoops and takes big pleasure when and where he can.
Chesterfind!
